The experienced race team at Real Club Nautico de Palma will again manage the all so important racing and the super yachts will be using the new ISYR rating system, which was well received at the recent British Virgin Islands regatta and the St Barth’s Bucket. The five J Class yachts will fleet race in their own class under their JCA rules and it will be the first time these historic yachts have raced together in Europe ever.
